Our Preschool
Woodborough Preschool is set in the heart of Woodborough Village which is a quaint village surrounded by fields and woodlands with a tradiational community feel which we are a huge part of.
At Woodborough Village Preschool we provide an environment that offers a calm and nurturing space where children thrive and become explorers, discoverers and life long learners. Our staff inspire and nurture every child and we build strong relationships to ensure children feel safe, happy, listened to and valued.
Our Curriculum
As a teacher based setting we carefully plan and provide opportunities that support children's exploration and curiosity. We support children in all 7 areas of development of the EYFS and have a free flow approach to learning. We provide balanced indoor and outdoor play so children can make their own choices and move round freely in a learning environments that suit their individual learning styles. Our educators observe and play along side children to ensure that each child's interest and next steps are being identified.
We have our very own allotment just a 2 minute walk from the village hall which is maintianed by children at our regular forest school sessions where we plant our own fruit and vegetables (which we often use in our baking sessions), engage in messy play in our mud kitchen and use the natural environment for many other learning opportunities such as maths and phonics in the outdoors and exploring nature such a bug hunts and bird watching.
We also offer weekly wellie walks, regular play church sessions at St Swithins church, yoga, mindfulness, dance and baking which are not only fun but are also important for a child's happiness, these are all available at no extra cost to all children who attend preschool on the days they run.
We understand the importance of staying connected to your child while at preschool. With daily updates, photos and notifications through our preschool Famly app, our practitioners take time to communicate every piece of your child’s day. Through child assessments, regular updates, an open-door policy and regular events where parents/carers are invited to join, we encourage our parents/carers to be an active part of your child’s educational experience.
